Rusher resigns from Humboldt Council
Humboldt at-large Council member Darrell Rusher is putting a close to his public service as a member of the Humboldt City Council.
Rusher submitted his resignation from the Humboldt City Council on Monday after serving the better part of two decades in office.
“I’ve been having some health issues and I feel that I’ve served long enough. It’s time for someone else to step in and take over,” Rusher said.
The Humboldt City Council has elected to fill the vacancy by appointment, but the electors within the city have a right to file a petition requiring that the vacancy be filled by special election.
The Humboldt City Council requests that people interested in being appointed to the Humboldt City Council to fill out the remainder of Rusher’s term, bring a letter of interest to the city clerk’s office by 4 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5. The Humboldt City Council will be making its decision for an appointment at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m. that afternoon.
